http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source is your definition of Open Source. Android is under an Apache License. That is an open source license. It allows folks to develop things for the software that ARE CLOSE SOURCE. Close Source, meaning you do not have access to the code, and have to abide by the original provider's distribution license / rules. In the case of Cyanogen, Gmail, Market, Google Maps, etc are CLOSE SOURCE.

Cyanogen was violating distribution rules for CLOSE SOURCED software. Not Android.

The remote remove you speak of refers to the Android market and any software peddled through the Android Market. If you don't use the Android Market (which belongs to Google) then you don't have an issue. Those Terms of Service apply to ONLY Android Market. Google owned up to them over a year ago, and if you search for news releases, you will see Google was open and up front, and released their intent a long time ago.

I'll even help you out: Their intent was to keep Android Market safe. If there is a malicious app released, Google wanted a way to remove it from the market and affected phones.

Back to Cyanogen (because Android being open source is not really a discussion.... you can find the code easily).....

The Crux of the issue here is the Google Apps that in Google's eyes, were distributed via an Unlicensed means. If you digg deeper.... Cyanogen was distributing Close Sourced Software versions that weren't even released yet. That is more than likely why Cyanogen was singled out.
I do not know how old U r and Until now U R still brewing stories that does not make sense and does not answer everything that I ask. U r still copying and pasting definitions which google released. U r not using ur common sense why this definitions are released. Those definitions are true. However there is a "catch". And that "catch is the one that U do not understand and does not want to accept and never answer.

Kill switch is not in the Android market. It is on the OS. Nobody knows that it exist until somebody discovered it. Remote kill switch. Do U understand what remote kill switch means? It is already defined by the name. remote kill switch!

Cyanogen is in trouble bcoz he is distributing google called closed software. Do not brew a story he had an access to any unreleased software.

So can U do anything U want with Android? Any Mod U want?

And few p[ages back, U keep on saying that Google does not have anything to do with Android anymore. Didn't U?
